1GB Mini Kart USB Slim Drive

OCZ Technology makes data storage and transferring easier and more portable than ever with the OCZ Mini-Kart USB Flash Drive. The ultra thin and lightweight Mini-Kart holds up to 2GBs of data in an ultra-compact unit that you have to see to believe.The Mini-Kart housing is 2.8mm thick, making this compact unit small enough to store in your wallet, ensuring that it is always handy to access or transfer documents, music, pictures and videos from your home or work computer. As a result of the incredibly thin Mini-Kart profile you'll never have to unplug surrounding USB ports to make room, a common problem with many oversized competitor drives. The Mini-Kart has a highly durable USB connector that is designed to be exposed without any issues.

I was quite excited about this product, and it worked great for about 5 months. Then I noticed it began to rattle slightly and occasionally it wouldn't be recognized by the computer. One day it stopped working all together. Thankfully I had a recent backup of my data. I will say that OCZ does a great job with warranty service and they promptly shipped me out a new one, but it had the same problem 3 months later...the rattle...then it stopped working. I am on my 3rd drive--A quick search through OCZ's support forums reveals that this is a common problem for people with this drive (I suspect OCZ knows this is a problem and that is why they were so willing to replace it).

It's a very nice flash drive, and everybody will fall in love of it. But unfortunately, I had to return one, of four that I bought. It seems like quality control is not the required. Some people says it's slow, but I really don't care if transfering my files takes 20 seconds or 15.

Fast transfer, bright but blue small (so not blindingly annoying) drive-active light, and SMALL!!! I stick it in my key case, it's not quite as thick as 2 credit cards. I wouldn't call it super sturdy, it does have a plastic housing, but I don't think you'll damage it in normal use unless you, say, try to purposely fold it in half.
